Chapter 44 Hot Search
When Jun Qiulan sent the message, it was already very late.
But it happened to be morning for Yan Jing.
Open Weibo certification?
It wasn't a difficult task. Yan Jing didn't even do it himself. He just gave instructions to his assistant.
The assistant has been following Yan Jing for many years.
I thought that the handsome young man with ancient style was going to open a Weibo account, and that this handsome guy had a good relationship with the boss, and was planning to develop into an actor in the future.
He followed along and helped complete the certification.
After seeing this, Jun Qiulan first followed Yan Jing back, and then sent Yan Jing a message to thank him for his help.
"Next time we meet, I'll give you a painting by the person you were looking for."
The kitten belongs to him now, but his family can't take it away for free.
To keep a cat, you need to hire the cat owner and give a betrothal gift.
Naturally, Jun Yu still planned to draw a picture of a cat for Yan Jing.
Yan Jing's eyes lit up when he saw the message.
His grandfather had very good attainments in calligraphy and was particularly fond of various calligraphy works, so he was naturally influenced by them.
There is certainly no problem with Jun Qiulan's calligraphy and paintings, and they are even three times more brilliant than his grandfather's works when he was young.
But the work of the person behind Jun Qiulan is more than one level higher than Jun Qiulan's.
He doesn't have any particular interest in calligraphy, but his grandfather likes it and likes to collect these things.
It just so happens that he is old enough now, so I can bring him home to make my grandfather happy and let him worry less about his major life events.
He is only in his twenties, why would he get married?
I don’t know what grandpa is thinking. He thinks that at his age, children should be running around.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh.
Then he replied to Jun Qiulan.
Take the initiative to make an appointment.
Jun Qiulan thought that there was plenty of time and there was no need to rush. Qu Feng was probably asleep, so Jun Qiulan went back to the village without waiting for his message.
Jun Yu was still reading by lamplight, and Bai Song was lying on his legs, sleeping with his legs spread out.
"Dad, don't rely on having a desk lamp to stay up at night."
Jun Yu was overjoyed. "I don't know what your mother has been reading on that tablet lately. She said you should go to bed early or you'll age quickly. She kicked your father out, and now you're the one who's lecturing him."
Jun Qiulan also smiled, but didn't dare to say much. She changed the subject and told Yan Jing about the painting she had promised him.
Jun Yu listened and agreed. Since the other party was willing to give it away for free, they couldn’t.
Even a fallen aristocrat must have some integrity.
"Okay, you should go to bed early too. I'll take the baby away." Jun Yu patted his butt and took his cat grandson with him.
As for his eldest son, he doesn't have to worry about him anymore since he's grown up.
Jun Qiulan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Fortunately, my parents are open-minded people.
Apart from worrying about Wan'er's marriage before, she didn't say much about his marriage.
I'm almost twenty years old, it's time to get married.
Unless there are special circumstances, such as mourning, the men here should have been married.
Thinking of this, Jun Qiulan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt melancholy. His parents probably wanted him to find a girl of his choice in another world in the future, so they didn't interfere too much.
Forget it, let’s not think about these issues now.
It is more important to pursue your career.
Qu Feng didn't reply to Jun Qiulan's message until early the next morning.
Certification mutual connection.
But there must be three certified people.
After Qu Feng joined the crew, he brought Director Chen along.
It just so happens that their drama is about to enter the promotion stage.
Director Chen also received a wave of attention.
Jun Qiulan doesn't have many scenes, but her character is well-designed and her acting is also good. Director Chen even specially asked the post-production department to make several promotional posters for Jun Qiulan.
Jun Qiulan passed the certification and posted a photo of himself and Baisong.
Jun Qiulan: The folding fan is given to you by Mr. and Jun Bai.
Qu Feng’s quick comment: Who is Jun Baisong?
Jun Qiulan replied: Cat, my nickname is Songsong.
Qu Feng: ...
He also didn't expect that someone would give a cat such a name.
With the support of Qu Feng, a popular young actor, Jun Qiulan, a hidden handsome guy, soon appeared in the public eye.
Director Chen also tagged Jun Qiulan using the crew's official account and posted a few stills.
Caption: Mr. Folding Fan or Mr. Qiwu?
With the traffic from both sides, some sharp-eyed people looked through Jun Qiulan's follow list.
It suddenly became lively.
The first person to pay attention to Jun Qiulan was actually Yan Jing.
Every time Yan Jing appears in the public eye, his traffic is comparable to that of the top stars.
As a result, Jun Qiulan became a hot topic.
At the same time, the video of the previous fight in the hotel was dug up again.
In the past, they all thought that Yan Jing was just seeing injustice and never thought that the two of them knew each other.
After all, given Director Yan’s status as a god, his friends should be movie stars, famous directors, screenwriters, and the like.
Jun Qiulan's identity had long been revealed by fans. He was just a young Taoist priest who had just come down the mountain to make a living.
How could he possibly have anything to do with Yan Jing?
But this time, the mutual following was a slap in their faces.
Everyone started to speculate how Jun Qiulan and Yan Jing knew each other.
After Jun Qiulan posted the first Weibo, she fumbled to repost the crew's Weibo and then ignored it.
The noise of increasing fans and constantly tagging him was really too noisy.
Jun Qiulan simply turned off the message alert tone.
So I didn’t notice the hot searches on Weibo at the first time.
Of course, even if he noticed, he seemed unable to intervene.
It was still in the afternoon when Liu Yue sent him a message, asking him if he would not be setting up a stall again recently.
Jun Qiulan was still confused.
He hasn't sold all the fans he accumulated some time ago. Since he hasn't been very busy these days, he plans to clear out all the stock quickly.
Liu Yue sent another voice message: Ahhhhhhh, do you have a tendency to become a hot topic?
He was clearly just an extra, but he appeared online twice and became a hot topic both times.
What should those little celebrities who cannot make it to the hot search list despite much hype do?
Jun Qiulan seemed to be thinking about something, and then he opened Weibo and saw the grand event online.
I took a deep breath.
I quickly sent a message to Yan Jing.
But it was night time at Yan Jing's place and he didn't come back.
It was not until the next morning that Yan Jing saw the message. At the same time, his team also sent him information about this hot search.
After reading it, I laughed.
Jun Qiulan really has the potential to become a top star.
As for the fact that Jun Qiulan became a hot topic because he was the first person to follow him, he did not mention it at all.
I only saw the first Weibo post by Jun Qiulan.
Below is Qu Feng’s reply.
Xiaoju is giving it away for free???
The last time Yan Jing was so speechless was last time.
After thinking about it, I began to understand Jun Qiulan's train of thought.
I burst out laughing.
He spoke too quickly. Seeing that Jun Qiulan liked Xiao Jubai and took such good care of him, he was the first to suggest giving Xiao Jubai to him for adoption.
Now that he realized it, Jun Qiulan had probably been preparing to ask him for Xiao Jubai for a long time.
Jun Qiulan had a good conscience. He spoke first and took the initiative to offer him a painting.
Almost missed it.
After thinking about it, he forwarded Jun Qiulan’s Weibo.
Yan Jing: It’s not a gift for free. You should pay attention to the calligraphy and painting. Don’t forget.
His Weibo post undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.
Now the whole network knows that Jun Qiulan’s kitten was given by Yan Jing. They have known how much Yan Jing likes cats.
Jun Qiulan also took a look. Apart from movie works and various professional knowledge that he could hardly understand, the rest were cats, all kinds of cats.
The assistant watching from the side was sweating profusely.
When has the boss ever cared about this kind of thing?
In the past, when there was similar news, the boss would not care as long as it did not infringe on privacy. If someone wanted to take advantage of the boss's popularity and create a couple, he would clarify it immediately.
Today's...
It is not considered an invasion of privacy, and he questioned the issue of CP hype.
What I don’t understand the most is that the boss actually responded specifically.
So who is behind this CP promotion?
He could see that the two of them were quite familiar with each other. Not only did he give her a cat, but the other party also wanted to give her calligraphy and paintings in return.
It sounded normal, but he still felt something was wrong.
With Yan Jing’s support.
This trending search lasted for three days.
Obviously Yan Jing doesn't care at all about netizens' speculation about their relationship.
But some smart people figured out that Yan Jing seemed to have helped build a cable car at the film and television base, and on the mountain was the Taoist temple where Jun Qiulan used to live.
Maybe that's how they met?
This speculation has been recognized by many people.
At the same time, they also couldn't understand Jun Qiulan anymore.
There is no need to elaborate on Yan Jing's status and connections in the circle. As a result, Jun Qiulan started as an extra when he came down the mountain.
Seeing that these two people were giving away cats and calligraphy and paintings, it was obvious that they knew each other very well.
Well done? But not quite? Medium or rare?
Or maybe they all have their own ideas that are beyond the comprehension of mortals like them.
Some people also took out a screenshot of the two people in the video of the previous hotel fight and said that the two people's looks are quite compatible.
Jun Qiulan sent a message to Yan Jing, asking what to do about the culprit.
As a result, the two of them were separated by time difference and had to wait for news for a long time.
Yan Jing finally replied and told him not to worry about it, it would be fine in a few days.
Jun Qiulan sighed and realized that he really might not be able to set up a stall in the near future.
According to Liu Yue, the number of people visiting the night market has skyrocketed, and their stalls are surrounded by three layers of space.
Even though they knew Jun Qiulan was not there, fans were still keen to come and check in and take photos.
For Liu Yue, it is also a sweet burden.
This made Jun Qiulan feel embarrassed and awkward. She was caused by this incident. She originally just wanted to open a Weibo post to remind everyone not to be cheated, but she didn't expect it to involve so many things.
Liu Yue was a cheerful person and told him directly not to worry about it.
Although it is a bit tiring to deal with these fans checking in every day, she benefits from it and her business is good.
The quality of most of today's young people is still very good.
It’s just that there were too many people, which slightly affected ordinary tourists and several nearby stalls.
In the end, Jun Qiulan could only post a Weibo saying that he would not be setting up a stall recently and asked everyone not to look for him deliberately.
After posting on Weibo, the situation improved a little.
Qu Fengdu even sent a message to tease him.
This is a level of traffic that many people would envy, especially since Jun Qiulan doesn't have any work that is worth showing off yet.
If it were someone else, they would have used this wave of traffic to debut on the spot, or even to make money.
Only he can stay so steady.
Jun Qiulan was helpless. In fact, after a little research, he found that there were not many people who loved calligraphy and painting. Most of them were what people called "Yan fans" on the Internet.
It is not much different from the previous popularity. Just like Qu Feng said, he has no outstanding works yet, so this kind of popularity is still just a passing cloud.
After all, he was once a prince and had seen many storms, so he was able to remain calm.
He stays at home every day, reading scripts and studying acting skills. He rarely goes out unless it is necessary. He has started ordering takeout for shopping, and all the food he orders is delivered by large supermarkets, which is a bit extravagant.
After a few days, the heat had barely died down, but there was still no news from the General's Mansion. Jun Qiulan was wondering if Wan'er hadn't conveyed the news well, or if the General's Mansion hadn't discovered the benefits of cement?
Not really.
Jun Qiulan was wondering whether he should go find Mr. Su first?
Whether the formula is handed over to the government or to the border troops, it should not be excessive for them to ask for a few trucks of cement to build houses.
I can see that the framework is being set up here.
The cement piled up in his house is not enough to last for a few days.
Before he could think it through, he was notified that he had a role in a costume detective suspense drama.
During this period, Jun Qiulan had more free time.
At the same time, I also accepted roles in two film crews. I had some things going on at home, and coupled with the sudden popularity, I didn't look for extra work for the time being.
When the notification comes, he won't be too late.
Jun Qiulan got the script in advance.
Knowing what your role is, as a guard, it's not difficult.
If you think back to when he was a close bodyguard, you'll probably know how to act.
For him, makeup and styling for costume dramas are much easier.
He was dressed in black and had his hair standing up high.
The male lead came over to take a look and then tactically retreated: "Can we try to stay out of the same frame?"
"No." Director Su came over and kicked the male lead. "Your guards are not in the same frame as you. What else do you want? Secret guards?"
The male lead grinned and said, "That's just what I said."
He knew in advance that Jun Qiulan would play his bodyguard, and his company had some objections at the time.
After all, he is the protagonist, and he is followed by a guard, who turns out to be even more handsome than the master.
When they are in the same frame, it is hard to tell who is the master.
But after considering many aspects and the current popularity, they finally did not intervene in this matter. After all, Jun Qiulan was offline after just a few scenes and could only serve as a white moonlight for the audience.
A more realistic problem is that the leading actor is still a semi-newcomer. He has played supporting roles in several dramas, from the second male lead to the eighth male lead, but he has never made any waves. Now Jun Qiulan is more popular than him.
Jun Qiulan played his bodyguard, but he was the one who took advantage of Jun Qiulan's popularity.
Human nature is a complex thing.
With Jun Qiulan's physique, if he becomes famous in the future, he will also have a place among the artists he has worked with when people talk about them.
Coach Su felt quite embarrassed, but also felt justified.
"Mr. Folding Fan, our crew is definitely riding on this popularity."
Si Wei also came over and said, "You look absolutely stunning in this ancient costume."
They were still a small crew, and the clothes were all rented, so they couldn't be said to be exquisitely made. But as soon as Jun Qiulan put them on, it felt like the clothes had been upgraded by two levels.
If the actual situation did not allow it, he would have wanted to give Jun Qiulan more roles.
The crew is composed entirely of young people, and the whole atmosphere is indeed much more relaxed than the previous "Strategy of a Bastard". Everyone is chatting and laughing.
Jun Qiulan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Okay, let's go. Let's try to finish filming this part of the scene today. Time is tight and the task is heavy. Come on everyone."
Director Su seemed to be full of energy.
Everyone else has gotten used to it, but Jun Qiulan still finds it quite interesting.
Today's performances are all literary dramas.
Jun Qiulan doesn't have many lines. He keeps his role as a guard in mind, doesn't take the initiative, doesn't steal the spotlight, and even lowers his head slightly when facing the front camera.
This detail was noticed by both Director Su and Si Wei.
Is the child too honest?
The entire day was spent filming this scene, at most in the lobby, the side hall, or even the stone table outside.
In some scenes, Jun Qiulan didn't even have to appear on stage. He just watched the protagonist change clothes and makeup again and again, and the stagehands changed the details of the set.
Just make the most of the rented venue.
Jun Qiulan also found it interesting that this crew had a faint sense of poverty while trying to maintain respectability.
There are so many scenes, and there are also some night scenes in the script, so we have to wait until dark to shoot.
But fortunately, everyone cooperated well.
It’s also possible that this drama is originally a suspense detective drama with a light comedy feel, and it doesn’t need to be too serious.
It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that today's scenes were finally over.
Jun Qiulan also rarely felt tired.
"Tomorrow is a day of location filming. Thank you all for your hard work." Director Su said, "Gather at 7 o'clock in the morning. We will take the bus there."
Jun Qiulan habitually set a memo for herself and set the alarm in advance.
"Where do you live? I'll take you there."
The leading actor has already gotten into his business car and is extremely tired.
Jun Qiulan shook her head. "No, I still have to go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities. See you tomorrow, Brother Zhao."
Zhao Zhao waved to him, "Then you should also be careful and go home early."
Jun Qiulan nodded and agreed.
You know what, this crew is really relaxed, he was referring to the atmosphere.
Jun Qiulan yawned and went to the small supermarket that was open 24 hours a day.
He bought a set of sewing boxes for his mother, and also bought back the sugar that was meant for Song Ting and the others.
I bought six kilograms in total.
If you try it for the first time, you should be cautious.
When I got home, it was already the end of the hour of Hai.
Jun Yu was waiting with Songsong in his arms again.
"Dad, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Jun Yu looked at the tiredness on his son's face and felt distressed. "It's okay. Your mother and I couldn't sleep well if you didn't come back."
Although my son doesn't live here every day, he will come back to say hello before going there.
It's really too late today.
"If I come back late again, I will find a chance to come back and report."
Jun Qiulan couldn't bear to see his parents worrying, and he didn't expect to shoot so late today.
Jun Yu quickly waved his hand, "No, no, it's too dangerous to travel through the outside world. If you are discovered, all your previous efforts over there may be wasted."
Just imagine, a person suddenly disappears in front of you and then suddenly appears in front of you. How scary would that be?
Jun Qiulan didn't say whether he agreed or not, he just said that he would pay attention.
"By the way, haven't we eaten most of the vegetables we planted earlier? The weather's cold, and the vegetables aren't growing anymore. The only ones left are the potatoes you mentioned. They've been planted for a while now, isn't it time to dig them up?"
Once before, Song Xirong asked her son what these vegetables were, which ones had leaves to be eaten, which ones had roots to be eaten, and which ones had fruits to be eaten.
Jun Qiulan took some photos and went back to check. Most of them were green vegetables that could be picked and eaten directly.
Only potatoes are left, and the potato vines cannot be eaten. You have to wait until the potatoes underneath are ripe.
Jun Qiulan estimated the time and said, "It should be time to dig it up."
He saw the potato yield on the Internet and it was really scary.
If it gets out...
There are two more questions. Whether you are a farmer or not, it is impossible not to be tempted when you hear about such high-yield grain.
But the problem is that the origin of these potato seeds is unclear.
It is different from other recipes. No matter how many recipes they come up with, they can all say that they were seen in books. The business recipes can also be said to be passed down from their mother's side of the family.
How do I explain this potato?
Fortunately, he only bought four or five potatoes from the supermarket, and his planting method was a bit wrong. The yield was probably too exaggerated, so it shouldn't attract too much attention.
Most people find it difficult to leave their hometown once in their lifetime. Even if they have never seen potatoes, they may just think of them as a foreign variety.
Just like the vegetables they grow, they are somewhat different from those here, and everyone just thinks they are foreign varieties and doesn't pay too much attention to them.
Jun Qiulan slowly exhaled.
If it was before, it would be impossible to expose the potatoes.
It’s mentioned in the novel that the three essential foods for time travel are potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes.
The output of each item is enough to shock ancient people like them.
It's quite shocking.
Moreover, in time-travel novels, every shock is no less than the birth of cement, promotion, and basic operations.
But now, Jun Qiulan also has to think of a way to accumulate merit.
Just like potatoes, don’t worry about promotions, just let him live a stable life.
"Dad, I won't be home tomorrow. These potatoes are very productive. You can dig them up and put them back in the house. I need to think about how to arrange them properly."
Jun Yu nodded, but he didn't have a concrete idea of the high output his son mentioned.
There is a house being built next to it. Master Qin said that this cement is easy to use and much better than the previous glutinous rice mortar.
There just aren't enough of them.
"Let's wait for three more days. If there's still no news, my son can find a way to bring a few more bags over. Then I'll find time to visit Mr. Su."
"Okay, as long as you have plans. It's getting late, so you should wash up and go to bed."
Jun Qiulan did yawn, "Dad, you should rest early. Just let me go to my room after you send me off."
"That won't work." Jun Yu picked up the cat and left.
It turns out that grandparents are close to each other. Jun Qiulan couldn't help laughing.
Jun Qiulan had to go to film the next day, so she didn't want to miss the call, so she went back to the rental house to rest.
I wake up early in the morning feeling refreshed.
When he gathered with the crew, Jun Qiulan still had the dumplings he had just bought in his mouth.
The food in this world is also very rich.
Even though he was the crown prince in the past, there were many kinds of breakfast in the imperial palace, but few of them suited his taste.
Breakfast in this world is still delicious.
"Would you like to take my bus?" Lead actor Zhao Zhao took the initiative to befriend Jun Qiulan. "This bus is quite bumpy. Why don't you come with me? We can even discuss the script."
Just as Jun Qiulan was about to agree, Director Su came over.
"Let him ride in the same car with us. I have something to tell him."
Zhao Zhao didn't say much, "Okay, I'll go get my makeup done first."
Jun Qiulan swallowed the last half of the steamed dumpling and asked, "Director Su, what's the matter?"
"Let's go, get in the car and talk on the way. It shouldn't be a big deal for you."
Jun Qiulan nodded.
Director Su’s car is also a business car.
To be honest, he really wanted to try that kind of bus.
One car can carry dozens of people and has a very spacious space.
I'll try it when I get back from filming today.
"You know we're a costume drama, right? Hahaha, we also want to get a couple of your calligraphy and paintings, folding fans or something."
Director Su was too embarrassed to speak, so Si Wei took the initiative to speak.
Jun Qiulan was overjoyed. "What's the problem? The fan will be delivered tomorrow, but the calligraphy and painting may have to wait a few days."
If nothing unexpected happens, all his scenes in this crew will be finished today, and he can just get his lunch box and leave.
He still has to wait for notification from Director Wang for the follow-up. Something happened in the border town, so he won't take the job for the time being.
It shouldn't be a problem to find time to paint some calligraphy or painting.
"It's okay, it's okay." Director Su was very cheerful. "Don't worry, we'll charge the market price and we won't let you give it away for free."
Jun Qiulan couldn't stop laughing. It was obvious that they also knew the joke about giving it away for free.
"By the way, you and Yan Jing are really familiar with each other? Is it like what netizens said, that he donated money to your Taoist temple, so you know each other?"
"almost."
I have to say that netizens have a very rich imagination.
Jun Qiulan didn't try to make connections. "My master and Yan Jing's grandfather are old friends. Yan Jing and I only exchanged some calligraphy and paintings. This is a free gift. It's a kitten Yan Jing found. He had to rush to go abroad, so he originally planned to foster the kitten with me."
A simple explanation silenced their gossiping mouths.
Director Su and Si Wei were indeed quite gossipy, but since Jun Qiulan had said so, she couldn't ask any more questions.
"By the way, today is your martial arts scene. There are fighting scenes. Can you do it? If not, there is a martial arts instructor over there. You should go and learn from him later."
Jun Qiulan wanted to say that of course there was no problem, but the fighting scenes were not just about swordplay and boxing, there would be an opponent.
The fighting scenes here are all fancy. I learned a little bit from Qu Feng and the others before.
I don’t know the situation here.
It is better to follow the crowd and learn together.
The business car shook and drove for almost an hour before arriving at today's destination.
The construction and layout of the venue were all completed in advance. Today, the equipment arrived and the actors are in place, so we can start shooting right away.
Jun Qiulan didn't have many scenes in the morning, so he found a martial arts instructor to learn something.
Since I have already learned martial arts, it is even easier for me to learn these fancy moves.
Before learning, the martial arts instructor heard that Jun Qiulan had practiced martial arts and asked him to demonstrate it.
Jun Qiulan naturally had no objection.
In the past, if you were born in an ordinary family, it was considered very good if you could recognize a few words and read a few books.
As we all know, studying is an expensive thing.
However, practicing martial arts requires more money, and ordinary people do not have the conditions.
Fortunately, he had an extraordinary identity in the past, otherwise he would have to start learning from scratch when he came to this world.
Jun Qiulan just sighed.
"Teacher, can this sword technique be used?"
The martial arts instructor was still surprised, "Honestly, your original sword technique is more practical than ours. It's just that ours looks better on camera, and the fighting is more flashy."
Jun Qiulan understood, "Then thank you for taking the trouble to teach me a few more moves."
I just happened to be studying here, so it should be easier when I go to Director Wang's place in the future.
He cannot be like those actors who have companies that hire teachers for them. He can only seize every opportunity to learn.
Even if you know martial arts, you still have to be careful when fighting against a group of people who don't know martial arts.
The martial arts instructor continued, "Actually, this sword technique can be made more spectacular with some choreography. You don't have a scene right now, right? Come on, we can give it a try."
Jun Qiulan was still practicing sword skills, and after he finished practicing, it was almost time for his part.
border town.
Jun Yu had a brief discussion with Master Qin, the builder, about the work early in the morning, and then spent some time with him and sent him off.
Songsong was taken away by Song Xirong again.
He simply carried his hoe and went to dig potatoes behind the house.
Originally, this piece of land was reclaimed by Jun Qiulan.
At that time, in order to establish his image as a decadent prince, he looked reluctant, even disgusted, and showed rejection when clearing the wasteland.
People passing by only noticed his expression and almost completely ignored how well Jun Qiulan had cultivated this land.
There wasn't even a speck of gravel.
After clearing the land, we also got a lot of hay and burned it on the ground to increase the fertility of the soil.
It is also thanks to his son that he can go to another world, and thanks to such a magical thing as the mobile phone, otherwise no one in his family would be able to open up wasteland.
Not to mention burning hay and manure.
He and his wife were the only ones who knew a little about planting flowers and trees, and they reluctantly planted the seeds their son brought back.
The growth is normal, which is just right, and they were not suitable to be too conspicuous before.
There is only one patch of potatoes today.
Jun Yu was very careful, afraid that he would damage the potatoes.
In the end, I even used a small shovel to slowly dig out the potatoes.
He was so focused that he didn't notice that Huo Lan had been watching him from behind for quite a while.
Although Huo Lian was a military general, he was not unworldly.
The annual military pay from the imperial court was not enough, so the border troops also farmed on their own.
There is no other way.
But he had never seen the lump of earth that Jun Yu dug today.
Originally, I was just curious about how Jun Yu, a prince who was well-read in poetry and books, could roll up his robe and go to the fields to farm. I found it novel.
But after looking for a while, he realized something was wrong.
Each of these lumps of earth is about the size of a fist, and the slightly smaller ones are as big as eggs.
Looking at it again, Jun Yu only dug two pits in total, and the lumps of earth piled next to them probably weighed about four or five pounds.
Thinking of this, Huo Lian's heart suddenly contracted.
With just these few vines and the barren land with insufficient fertility, only two nests can produce such a high yield.
If we convert it, the yield of one acre of land would be over 2,000 kilograms, right?
Huo Lian only gave a rough estimate, but this so-called rough estimate was already horrifying enough.
What kind of grain can produce 2,000 kilograms per mu?
Here, the main crop produced is dry rice. If they take good care of it for half a year, they can get a yield of two and a half stones per mu, which is considered very good.
Wheat yields were even lower.
He still didn't know that Jun Yu and Song Xirong made a mistake in the planting method when they planted the potatoes, otherwise the yield could have doubled.
This is not important.
Thinking of the 2,000 kilograms of grain per mu, Huo Lian almost couldn't breathe.
Hundreds of thousands of border troops could only eat two meals a day, which were rice flour mixed with crushed wheat bran and rice bran.
Otherwise there wouldn’t be enough to eat.
Yes, he could only describe it as not enough to eat, and he didn't even dare to use the word "full".
That is to say, before the winter, there would be some friction with the Rongdi people outside the country, and he dared to wave his hand and let the soldiers have enough food.
Always ready to fight.
If only their military farms could produce 2,000 kilograms of grain per mu...
The soldiers no longer had to worry about going hungry.
Thinking of this, he became angry again.
The last time I went to Beijing to report on my work was also to reconcile accounts with the Ministry of Revenue.
The military pay received each year is far from enough.
As a result, an emergency occurred again this year and a plague broke out, leaving him with even less time and energy to argue with the Ministry of Revenue.
Look, this year’s military pay has finally arrived.
In previous years, the rate was around 60% to 70%.
This year it’s less than 50%.
He had been mentally prepared when he saw the emperor becoming increasingly confused in the capital.
But when he really only received this little, he was still furious.
In the capital, a garden was built and a palace was constructed for the imperial concubines. The money was enough to feed the soldiers for a month.
I don’t know how this emperor stood out among all the outstanding princes.
No great talent, no great virtue.
On the contrary, Jun Qiulan looks like a wise ruler.
"Mr. Jun." Huo Lian couldn't help but ask, "What kind of food is this lump of earth of yours?"
Jun Yu was shocked.
He knew the potato yield would be high after his son reminded him last night, but he didn't expect it to be so high.
Even though he was not knowledgeable about things, he knew what this food meant to them.
My son has also bought potatoes from there and eaten them. He stewed them with meat, fried them, or even boiled them directly. The potatoes were delicious.
It is definitely a good food that benefits the country and the people and can save lives.
Moreover, it was grown in newly reclaimed land with insufficient fertility.
He was so absorbed in thinking about these things that he was afraid that his movements would be too big and might harm these few unique seedlings.
"General Huo." He forced himself to remain calm, betting that General Huo didn't understand farm work either.
He smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, General Huo. Please take a seat in the front yard and rest for a while. I'll go change my clothes."
Huo Lian's expression was very subtle.
Okay, he wanted to see what this father and son were up to.
He had asked Jun Shuwan to get the cement from the General's Mansion a few days ago. He knew that this cement was indestructible after drying and was definitely a good material for building city walls.
But he waited and waited, and the family never came to find him, so he had no choice but to come here by himself.
I just didn’t expect that I would get such a big surprise on this trip.
